Mio se retvítům vesměs líbí. Mnozí si sondu již přejmenovali na Mio-chan nebo na Miokun, podle populárních postaviček v příbězích, o kterých nic nevím.slappy píše:Japonské sondě MMO se nyní bude říkat Mio.[/url]
Namesake and Background
The definition of the word mio in the original Japanese is a waterway or fairway. It is a fitting name denoting how far the MMO mission has come, navigating its course past important research and development milestones. It also carries the connotation of wishing the spacecraft a safe journey.
Historically, markers called mio-tsukushi were posted to guide boats sailing at rivers and sea. In traditional Japanese poetry, mio-tsukushi interchangeably means working hard without giving up. This describes the diligent and tenacious sprit of the MMO project team who never ceases to challenge.
The spacecraft will travel through the solar wind, a continuous stream of plasma that the Sun emits in the Mercury’s magnetosphere. The Mercury’s magnetospheric interference constantly affects the state of the solar wind in orbit. It conjures up the image of a sea vessel underway with its bow heading forward.
Mio is easy to say for many, especially those who do not speak Japanese.
